Funny Songs for the Seder
Elijah
Sung to the tune of "Maria"
I just saw the prophet Elijah.
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same to me!
Elijah!
He came to our seder
Elijah!
He had his cup of wine,
But could not stay to dine
this year!
Elijah!
For your message all Jews are waiting!
That the time's come for peace
and not hating--
Elijah!
Next year we'll be waiting! Elijah!
Take Me Out to the Seder
Take me out to the Seder
Take me out with the crowd
Feed me some matzah and chicken legs
I don't for the hard-boiled eggs
And its root, root, root for Elijah!
That he will soon reappear!
And let's hope, hope, hope that we'll meet
Once again next year!
Take me out to the Seder
Take me out with the crowd
Read the Haggadah
And don't skip a word
Please hold your talking,
We want to be heard,
And let's root, root for the leader,
That he will finish his spiel!
So we can nosh, nosh, nosh and by-gosh
Let's eat the meal!
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
(Sung to the tune of "These are a Few of My Favorite Things")
Cleaning and cooking and so many dishes
Out with the hametz, no pasta, no knishes,
Fish that's gefilted, horseradish that stings
These are a few of our passover things.
Matzoh and karpas and chopped up haroset
Shankbones and kiddish and yiddish neuroses
Tante who kvetches and uncle who sings
These are a few of our Passover things.
Motzi and maror and trouble with Pharoahs
Famines and locust and slaves with wheelbarrows
Matzah balls floating and eggshell that cling
These are a few of our Passover things.
When the plagues strike
When the lice bite
When we're feeling sad
We simply remember our Passover things
And then we don't feel so bad.
TAKE US OUT OF EGYPT
(sung to the tune of Take Me out to the Ballgame)
Take us out of Egypt
Free us from slavery
Bake us some matzah in a haste
Don't worry 'bout flavor
Give no thought to taste.
Oh its rush, rush, rush, to the Red Sea
If we don't cross its a shame
For its ten plagues
Dow and you're out!
At the Pessah history game!
